According to Brzezinski, Netanyahu was just playing a role that wasn’t to be taken seriously.

“You’re setting me up,” said of a question about Netanyahu’s response. “I think it was in character. I think he’s not very serious person. He may entertain the Congress occasionally because some people in Congress like to be entertained. But he’s not really very serious person. He exaggerates and I don’t think Israel benefits from that.”
